Help, eating too much...

I'm new to this, but something is really bugging me and my friend told me about this site.

I'm 7 weeks prego and I've already gained 7 lbs and it's really worrying me! I'm just eating like crazy and I feel like I can't stop. I don't want to gain more weight than I should, but at this rate I'm going to gain 70 pounds, which is a lot for my 5'2" frame that was previously 103 lbs.

I get this stark raving hunger and I just can't control myself. So I eat til I've gorged myself.

Please help me! My weight is such a huge issue to me (I've had eating disorders before)thanks!

Hi girls,

The most most important thing to remember is that you are eatting enough to keep that baby healthy. I know it's hard but try not to focus on the weight gain, it will come off after the baby is born. I would honestly talk with your OB when you go in next. They can give you a basic guideline on how much you should be eatting, when you are pregnant it's completely normal to eat more, so don't be concerned about that. Uncontrolable cravings are also all part of the whole pregnancy thing as well. I would say the biggest thing to remember is to make sure that when you get these cravings is that you are eatting healthy, not junk food or fast food every time. Try not to stress out about it. Very likly if you are crazy hungry it is because your body needs it. When pregnant it is much better to eat, be healthy and gain weight, then to deprive yourself, eat sparingly and not gain enough weight.
